The only thing better than RAC Garage is daily RAC Garage! Keep 'em coming....

[@RACGARAGE]

[@brucecoleman6014]

Jacob is learning fast. Super good worker you got there Travis

[@RACGARAGE]

You got that right!

[@francisrizzo1529]

Cab is looking sharp. I always get a kick out of the real-world setbacks, like yes, this stuff happens to everyone...

[@RACGARAGE]

Happens to everyone!

[@johnkranz4004]

Firewall looks Great So far Travis Good shot at trying to get the motor running

[@RACGARAGE]

Yeah run thing to tinker on with friends

[@psnaith1]

Every thing is coming along great, the cab is looking really good!

[@larsbr4519]

Use a 12V battery for the starter, and a 6V for the coil. That will get it running ;-)

[@RACGARAGE]

Yeah I think that’s the next plan

[@mikearmstrong7866]

Nice work, as always!

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks again!

[@joewolf4483]

I always use 12v on my 6v stuff ... really whips over ...

[@RACGARAGE]

Yeah I usually do too but I didn’t have a 12v coil or a distributor that I could easily use one on. I’ll try harder next time 😂

[@Mccabone]

I'm a friend and neighbor of President of the Rumblers CC Mike Busatarri

[@RACGARAGE]

Oh nice! I have a few friends in the Rumblers CC

[@jraposo911]

👍👍👍👍😊

[@matthewmoilanen787]

You guys are all recommending using a 6v batt for the coil but if you were around for point style distributors they use a ballast resistor in the run position of the switch that steps down the voltage to the coil. It is more than acceptable to run a 6v coil with a 12v system and ballast resistor because the only time full 12v is applied is during starting. Your welcome from a "old" mechanic that actually had a paying job adjusting points with e feeler gauge or dwell meter.

[@RACGARAGE]

Oh wow great tip! I’ll try that

[@Mccabone]

What is the manufacturer of the 32 Firewalls name?

[@RACGARAGE]

It’s a brookville unit

[@garycamara9955]

Thats an aftermarket firewall, not a real 32 firewall.

[@IowaMercMan]

We know. Travis said that very thing on the first firewall episode. What is your point?

[@RACGARAGE]

🤣
